David Gilmour shares animated video for new single ‘Rattle That Lock’ – watch

Pink Floyd singer David Gilmour has shared the animated video for his new single ‘Rattle That Lock’. Watch below.

Created by London animators Trunk under the executive direction of Floyd’s long-established artwork team Hipgnosis, the black-and-white video is based on John Milton’s epic poem ‘Paradise Lost’. Gilmour’s lyricist Polly Samson based the lyrics for the single on Milton’s famous composition.

Gilmour said: “I love animation when it does something that can’t be achieved any other way. The film Trunk have made for ‘Rattle That Lock’ highlights a darkness in the song that couldn’t have been shown any other way.”

Trunk, who have also directed videos for Coldplay, Blur and The Rolling Stones, used 12 animators to make the video.
